The little six passenger Cessna two prop plane couldn't take off

Maine was having gale force winds and 2 ft of snow. Boy was I happy to see that cute little airport all dressed up for Christmas and the busy runway with ubiquitous snowplows. The Employees all came on the tarmac to help us out of the plane. It's nice to get called by your name, I was home at last. As we drove into the drive we met the snowplow doing my drive. There is no place like home.

I am doing the wedding in two parts. It was 4 days.

The rehearsal dinner was just wonderfulThe owner of the Restaurant even dropped into the Church.

After the Church we loaded the buss for the Hotel.

The Grooms parents live in Fort Lauderdale in Victoria Park. That's close to LasOlas Blvd.

They were so lovely.

Dina found some lace just like the gown so we all worked on making a shawl , as she needed to have something for her shoulders, it was cold. They were all running on Adrenalin
